Working mathematically focuses on developing students’ sense of mathematical inquiry: problem posing and problem solving, modelling and investigation. It involves students in the application of principled reasoning in mathematics, in natural and symbolic language, through the mathematical processes of conjecture, formulation, solution and communication; and also engages them in the aesthetic aspects of mathematics.
In this dimension the nature, purpose and scope of individual work is connected to that of the broader mathematical community, and the historical heritage of mathematics through the discourse of working mathematically. Mental, by hand and technology-assisted methods provide complementary approaches to working mathematically.
